one of the things which make OpenNebula usage overly complicated is the fact that I cannot create an empty image of type OS. Only DATABLOCK can be created this way, and it can be changed to OS afterwards.
Is there any further difference between these two types of images? So far they both look similar to me, with creation of an empty image being the only difference.
If they are indeed so similar, can the abovementioned limitation of type OS (creating an empty image) be removed?
Hi!
I think one of the main differences between an OS and a DATABLOCK image is that a VM requires at least an OS image to boot from. Maybe I’m wrong but you can’t boot a VM from a DATABLOCK image, you can use it to install an OS on it though.
